Description

Controlling the temperatures of plant equipment and the process is important & critical. Thus a Heat Exchanger is a piece of equipment used to transfer heat between two separate mediums. We shall look at the principles of heat transfer and examine the various heat exchangers used in industry.

Course Objectives:

Explain what heat is and how it can be transferred.

Explain the function of a heat exchanger

Identify the major parts of a shell and tube exchanger.

List the factors that affect heat transfer.

Identify components/construction of a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Identify components/construction of an Aerial Heat Exchanger

Describe the operation of different types of heat exchange equipment

Start/stop different types of heat exchange equipment

Describe routine checks of heat exchange equipment
